The power button does not work. |
- Reseat the control-panel connector. See Blade server controls and LEDs.
- (Trained service technician only) Replace the system-board assembly.
See Removing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5 and Installing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5.

The blade server does not turn on. |
- Check the function of the shared BladeCenter chassis resources.
See Solving shared BladeCenter resource problems.
- Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade server control panel
is flashing slowly. See Blade server controls and LEDs.
- Check the power-management policies in the operating system for
the blade server. See the Advanced Management Module User's Guide for more information.
- Check the advanced management module event log of the corresponding
blade server for an error that is preventing the blade server from
turning on. See Event logs.
- Reseat the blade server. See Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter chassis and Installing a blade server in a BladeCenter chassis.
- If you just installed a device in the blade server, remove it
and restart the blade server. If the blade server now starts, you
might have installed more devices than the power to that blade server
bay supports.
- (Trained service technician only) If you
tried another blade server in the blade server bay when you check
the function of the shared BladeCenter chassis resources and the other
blade server worked, replace the system-board assembly. See Removing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5 and Installing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5.
- See Solving undetermined problems.

The blade server turns off for no apparent reason. |
- Check the function of the shared BladeCenter chassis resources.
See Solving shared BladeCenter resource problems.
- (Trained service technician only) If the microprocessor error
LED is lit, replace the microprocessor. See Removing a microprocessor and heat sink and Installing a microprocessor and heat sink.
- (Trained service technician only) Replace the system-board assembly.
See Removing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5 and Installing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5.

The blade server does not turn off. |
- Verify whether you are using an Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) or non-ACPI operating system.
- If you are using a non-ACPI operating system, complete the following
steps:
- Turn off the blade server by pressing the power button for 4 seconds.
See Blade server controls and LEDs.
- If the blade server fails during POST and the power button does
not work, remove the blade server from the bay and reseat it. See Removing the blade server from the BladeCenter chassis and Installing a blade server in a BladeCenter chassis.
- If the problem remains or if you are using an ACPI-aware operating
system, complete the following steps:
- Check the power-management policies in the operating system for
the blade server.
- (Trained service technician only) Replace the system-board assembly.
See Removing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5 and Installing the system-board assembly - BladeCenter HX5.
